Lost Filling or Crown Repair
Prompt replacement or re-cementation of a dislodged filling or crown to protect the tooth from further damage.
What is it
Prompt replacement or re-cementation of a dislodged filling or crown to re-seal the tooth, prevent decay or sensitivity, and restore full biting function.
How it works
The exposed tooth is examined, cleaned, and prepared, and the original restoration is re-cemented or replaced with a new filling or crown to re-seal and protect the tooth.
How it helps
Re-seals the exposed tooth to relieve sensitivity and pain, prevents decay from developing in the unprotected area, and restores full biting function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients whose filling or crown has come loose, cracked, or fallen out, leaving a tooth unprotected, sensitive, or at risk of further damage.
What is the typical experience?
The exposed tooth is examined, cleaned, and re-sealed or restored in one appointment.
How long does it usually take?
Re-cementation or simple repair is completed in a single same-day visit, usually in under an hour.
